A quotation from Samuel Johnson
But there is a higher order of men so inspired with ardour, and so fortified with resolution, that the world passes before them without influence or regard: these ought to consider themselves as appointed the guardians of mankind: they are placed in an evil world, to exhibit publick examples of good life; and may be said, when they withdraw to solitude, to desert the station which Providence assigned them.
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1754-01-19), The Adventurer, No. 126

This morning we had a report of an important system not working properly.
Tracking back to yesterday afternoon, a colleague made a change to bring that system back into compliance with our managed config (this happens all the time) but that broke it.
In our whole-dept Incidents chat where it was being discussed, they explained what they did, why, and accepted the responsibility.
An exemplar to some colleagues who always obfuscate their responsibilities!
Avui #28J, hem omplert St.Jaume per cridar "NO A L'AMPLIACIO".
Èxit de participació a la primera de les accions ciutadanes davant del despropòsit.
GRÀCIES per participar-hi!!
No ens ha aturat ni l'onada de calor.
Al moment de llençar l'avió de paper, la gent ha sortit de la zona d'ombra🥰 #exemplar
Som-hi amb @zeroportbcn 💪💪
Per un altre model econòmic i de mobilitat #éspossible
Das Paket für die nächste Aktion vorbereitet. Diesmal ist die Stadtteilbibliothek wohl offen und bekommt die erste Chance.
Allerdings: Ich habe die Bücher geprüft, sie sind im #vöbb schon vorhanden: https://www.voebb.de/
Wenn der vöbb, die bücher also nicht nimmt, gibt es einen guten Grund: warum das dritte #Exemplar vorhalten?
Als gehts 100 Schritte weiter zu #oxfam
A quotation from Eisenhower, Dwight David:
«
The best foreign policy is to live our daily lives in honesty, decency, and integrity; at home, making our own land a more fitting habitation for free men; and abroad, joining with those of like mind and heart, to make of the world a place where all men can dwell in peace.

Jedesmal wenn du denkst, die #Antwort auf eine #Frage zu kennen, stellst du fest, dass die Frage #keinen #Sinn #ergibt.
Ich werde mich gleich #anziehen, in unseren #Kellerabteil #tauchen und mit etwas #Glück mit meinem #Exemplar von #PaulAuster s #Im_Land_der_letzten_Dinge wieder heraus kommen. Ein zutiefst #verstörendes #Buch geschrieben in #Form von #Briefen.
Gebt ihm doch mal ein #Exemplar von
#Christian Stöcker's #Buch "Männer, die die Welt verbrennen. Wie wäre es danach mit einem E-mobil-Gipfel ? Denn die Zeit der #Verbrenner geht definitiv zu Ende. Den #Strukturwandel müssen alle vollziehen, denn die #Uhr tickt. Die #Zuliefererindustrie wird schrumpfen. Das geht nicht mehr ewig so weiter.
Dear Friends of the #Debunked. :ablobblastoff:
Even though we claim to be a poem, story, wer-lobster and #worshiper of Tues, Elks and #Science, nobody but childish hardcore #atheists would believe such a tall tail told by an idiot …
After all #debunkers, sleep in a real bed not a bunk. Are such Fun de Mentalists a perfect #exemplar of head based skull drudgery? For all I know they could be members of Hydra … or augmented Lizards … :ablobpeekjohnny:
However let us be kind and assume everyone wears a range of hats from #red to #black and #white. In this sense some of us do think with our #lions, loins and neural #hearts. :ablobdancer:
Some of us excrete gems and eat flesh. That does not make us incontinent, inn competent or otherwise disabled by an over-federated bran/brain.
oop looks like i failed to mention #phonology in my intro
i'm an #exemplar and #NeuralNets guy by disposition but i think there's real value in #formalist approaches (à la Bale & Reiss, or the #subregular stuff); they offer a distinct mode of understanding (in a vaguely #Marr way but i've come to believe the notions of "levels" has been detrimental overall)
some day i'll get it together enough to get a piece on #explanation and #pluralism of #theory written somewhere
#Harland, after #Exemplar another extremely immersive radio play by #BBC. I highly recommend both.

Today's #tarot draw is the #HangedMan, the #Lunatic, and the #Expert. :hanged_man_tarot_card:
The Hanged Man is a Major Arcana archetype representing #crisis, #restriction, and #surrender. The Lunatic is of the mind and represents #persecution and #weaknesses, and is tied to the #Unclean archetype. The Expert is also of the mind, is linked to the #Exemplar archetype, and represents #goals, #morals, and #ideals.
